Player Updates

Griff Whalen (Ind-WR)

Bill Belichick said "we'll see" as to how Griff Whalen will fit into the receiving role.

Whalen was recently signed by the Patriots after the injury to Amendola that will keep him out for the remainder of the regular season. Whalen caught two passes for the Chargers in eight games this year, after playing three seasons for the Colts. Whalen will be behind Edelman, Mitchell, and Hogan on the Patriots receiving depth chart. -- Fantasy Alarm

Nikita Whitlock (NYG-FB)

Nikita Whitlock's house was broken into and vandalized on Tuesday night and it is being investigated as a hate crime.

Reports are stating that the Giants player's home was vandalized with writing of "KKK," "Go Back to Africa," and Swastikas all over his walls. Thankfully, nobody was home during the time, but this is now the second time Whitlock's home has been broken into, with the first break-in taking place around Thanksgiving. -- Fantasy Alarm

Cionel Perez (-SP)

Astros have officially signed Cionel Perez to a $2 million deal.

The highly touted Cuban prospect was on Houston's radar back in September when they gave him a $5.15 million signing bonus in the international free agency period, but then voided the contract in October without an explanation. While other teams were interested in Perez, Houston has now officially singed him. -- Fantasy Alarm

Andrew Barbosa (-P)

Brewers have signed LHP Andrew Barbosa to a minor league deal with an invite to spring training.

Barbosa spent last season with the Mets, posting a 3-0 record with a 1.51 ERA and a 8.9/9 K rate over 71.2 innings in the minor leagues. He will more than likely start the season in the minors for the Brewers, but can expect them to give the 29 year old a long look to see what they have over Spring training. -- Fantasy Alarm
